Amusement tax challenged as unfair by theatre owners
D J Burke presented a petition on behalf of theatre owners urging abolition of the amusement tax as unfair arbitrary and discriminatory arguing it targets one business form while exempting television bingo and other entertainments. He claimed theatres face competition from TV and service clubs and that policy permits licenses and taxes to be avoided by fronts. Alderman Heinrichs noted it is not a business tax and the council will defer to the finance committee for further study.
